| TASTING NOTE: Located in a remote corner of the beautiful Franschhoek Valley, the Boekenhoutskloof winery's name means \"ravine of the Boekenhout\" (pronounced Book-n-howed) and refers to an indigenous Cape beech tree greatly prized for furniture making. This wine is bristling with attractive pear, peach and tropical fruit wrapped in a creamy texture. Pair with pork chops, crab cakes, or butternut squash gnocchi in a brown butter sauce.
